Scott's output as a writer of short poems has undergone a thorough re-evaluation, encompassing poems not included in the standard edition of his collected poems or previously printed elsewhere. This scholarly edition, based on new archival research, presents 134 poems, many of which have never been published before, and all of which have been meticulously re-edited from early printings or manuscript originals. Throughout his writing career, Scott remained a poet, and this collection of poems showcases his literary journey from the early days of a clever Edinburgh schoolboy to the final works of an esteemed international celebrity author. The poems span various genres, including songs and ballads, theatrical contributions, epitaphs, translations from Latin, Spanish, French, Gaelic, and German, and personal witty musings. The comprehensive editorial apparatus provides readers with a rich historical and literary context for each poem, explores the relationship between song lyrics and musical settings, and traces all quotations and allusions to books, people, and places.
